Mrs. Guerra was one of the best teachers I have ever had. She made a subject that, I'll have to admit, could at times be boring to me, fascinating and compelling. Why? Because she was so genuinely passionate about what she was teaching. Her eyes lit up when she talked about Stephen Crane's writing style or the flooring realism of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Mrs. Guerra could be talking about the water cycle, and if she were passionate about it, I'd sit through a two hour lecture about it! She also obviously cared about me as a student - helped me when I was struggling with something, and saw it through until I had it conquered. It doesn't matter how many years pass after high school; I'll always remember Mrs. Guerra for standing out from the crowd of teachers teaching because it was their job, and teaching because she loved it.
